"Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars." – Khalil Gibran

Celest (Heather) McConnell

When I’m stricken with the worst, I hold strong with the simple phrase, “it could be worse”. I’m not on life support, I can read and write, I’ve had food today and I have a dog to share my bed with so I’m very thankful! I’m not a “FML” person and you won’t see me constantly complaining, but my body screams from the inside.
I have several debilitating illnesses, including AS, and I spend 90% of my life in bed. I hope to join, listen, speak and offer any emotional or educational support all us with this condition need. xoxo
